How to Do the Pints and Shots Bar Trick

There are many different tricks used by both bartenders and patrons in bars. The pints and shots bar trick was made famous in the movie "Glitter." Be aware that the person you play the trick on might not like the end result, so be careful who pick as your willing participant.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 pints of beer
• 2 shots of alcohol
• Willing participant

1. Scan the bar and look for a willing participant. This person needs to look like they do not go to bars a lot. People who are tipsy are also good for this trick.

2. Bet the targeted person that you can drink two pints of beer before they can drink two shots. Once they accept the challenge, order the drinks from the bartender. Stand up and face each other.

3. State the rules of the game. The other person cannot start his shots until you drink your first pint. At no time can either of you touch the other person's glass. You can only touch one glass at a time.

4. Drink your first beer. You do not have to rush because they can't drink until you are finished with your first pint.

5. Allow the other person to grab her first shot. Take your empty pint and place it over their full shot glass. Be careful not to touch the shot glass with your pint glass. You can make it seem like an accident by slamming the pint down on the bar when you are finished.

6. Slowly drink your second beer. They can't touch your glass, so they can't move it to drink their shot. You win!

Tips & Warnings

• This trick often offends the person taking the shots. Be aware of the consequences if they get mad.
